Bee sting on my belly..!!!

Last night I was out taking maternity pictures and got stung by a bee on my belly.. I had two shirts on so the stinger didn't get stuck in my skin. I am almost 33 weeks pregnant right now.. Not allergic to bees or anything. Today it is all red and a little swollen and SUPER itchy.

I have never been stung before, so I am not sure if that is a normal reaction or not.. Should I call my doctor? Or should my baby be okay?

Sounds like a normal reaction to me. I would try icing it or hydrocortisone lotion.

I was stung by a wasp for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago.  It was on my foot and was super itchy and swollen- the nurse seemed to think it was a normal reaction.  

I just took a Benadryl and put hydrocortisone  on it.  I think you would only need to be really concerned if other parts begin to swell, like your throat (but I'm not a doctor).

Thanks ladies. I called and the nurse said that it being swollen, red, and itchy are normal symptoms. Just to watch and make sure it doesnt keep swelling and if I start getting pains in my belly to come in.. I am just a huge worry freak, especially because it was on my tummy. . Gahh I have the worst luck.

Thankfully it happened with our last pictures, so I bet those maternity pictures are not cute at all! lol
